The Italian group Medusa's Spell opens
the album promisingly with something between ambient and guitar-ethereal.
Act I is a slow, beautiful piece dominated by male speech
(especially the words "stay still". The rest of the way, however,
is just downhill from there. Standing between the two aforementioned genres,
Mercurian Behaviour has the flaws of them both very much present. Monotony,
passivity and over-emphasized accentuation. Nothing is really new, and
the old ideas haven't been recycled well.

The artists do show an occasional glimmer of cleverness,
hinting to that it could have been possible to see something much more
interesting from them. So, where, say, Decadence recently rose
above the aforementioned problems by pure strength and sheer lyrical
audacity, Medusa's Spell remains powerless. It is quite possible that
we may yet to hear some really impressive from them, but this album
is, quite frankly, a waste of time and effort.
